RTHASVILLE RECORD Vol 42 MARTHASVILLE. WARREN COUNTY. MISSOURI. Friday, MARCH 17, 1939 No. 31 COMMENTS ON EVENTS OF MISSOURI LEGISLATURE Womens Meeting March 22 On Subject Of Clothing TOWN AND SCHOOL . ELECTIONS ANNOUNCED THE OLD LIGHTHOUSE STILL STANDS MA Iril 4 Of Many Business Have Representatives at Jefferson City in , Efforts to Escape Paying the Sales Tax. "More than half of the session of 120 days is now passed and unless the time is extended we will have but few more bills in troduced. We have up to this time 643 bills in the House and these added to the number in the T Senate will perhaps make well over one thousand bills. Some of ' them are important but perhaps more than half are useless and will find their way into the waste baskets. "Though we have gotten rid of the Social Security measure, our headaches, that we got over arguments on that is still with us as we (go into the discussion of the sales tax. It Is very bothersome for the reason that so many big businesses have their representatives here to try to get exempted from paying a :sales tax. As for me, I think we should broaden the base and take in everything that is sold at retail as the way the tax is now it is very unfair. As an example of the unfairness, there Is perhaps no other article that is so heavily retailed as the great daily papers in the cities, yet they are entirely exempted from any sales tax and it makes me peeved to read those editorials in : the Kansas City Star, the Post Dispatch and other metropolitan papers'" demanding more than ' their share of revenue for their schools, relief, etc., when these same papers are not paying a cent of the tax. They are wont ; to refer to the legislative members who are working out the tax problems as "political dema-; gogues." If I were myself exempted from this tax, I would be very small in my criticism of those who are trying to do an honest job with an unpopular subject. "The titles tare demanding more than their proportionate share of the school moneys and more than their, proportionate share of the direct relief. Had I my, way about the situation, we would not appropriate a dollar to direct relief but let each municipality or political subdivision take care of their own relief problems. The only reason these metropolitan papers are fighting the old-age pension appropriation is because the more they get taken oft! the old age pension ' the more pie they will get in the form of direct relief. "Much of the sales tax money ' that is boasted of by the cities ts paid by the out-state on their I purchases "they made in these Cities and contrary to the state-ment of these same metropolitan papers the cities are now paying h less state tax in proportion to their wealth than the rural sections of this State and I am fighting any movement to take any amount of our school tax money from our rural schools and allocating it to the schools fit the cities. There has been 43 bill introduced to raise salaries or In other ways make more expenses to the State. This does not include the thousands of dollars in raises asked in appropriation bills.

County Extension Agent Dor-ris Brown announces a series of meetings to be conducted Wednesday, March 22 and Thursday, March 23, for the farm and town women of the county on the subject of clothing. Miss Mary Roberson of the Missouri College of Agriculture will be in charge of these meetings and discuss her subject of 'Understanding and Adjusting this Year's Patterns and Dress es." She will give those present some information on the style changes and style trends for the year and information on fitting garments that are serviceable, comfortable and attractive in appearance. These meetings are to be held at the Evangelical church basement in Marthasville on Wednesday, March 22 and at the College church basement in Warrenton on March 23. Meetings are to begin at 1 :30 p. m. and will probably be completed by 4 :30 p. m. Reports Of Farm Leaders Urge Increased Clover Seeding ' Warren County farmers grew 1 more than 1200 acres of sweet J clover in 1938 with approximate- iy 2,000 acres of land limed in i. lie vuumjr. inucii laigci ati e- age should be seeded to this exceeding the other pasture and soil building crops this spring, says County Extension Agent Brown. More pasture per acre can be secured in the spring and early summer from sweet clover than any other pasture plan. This was brought out very clear ly in the reports of C. H. Wegener, Jos. F. Borgerding and Wal do Wulff at the Clover and Pros perity conference last month. Sweet clover has no equal -as a soil builder. Corn yields following sweet clover on 25-bushel corn land are often doubled and usually are materially increased on all lands. Now is the time tc seed sweet clover to be used for pasture or green manure crop next year, reminds Co. Agent Brown, and offers the following suggestions in growing the crop. Sweet clover should never be ; seeded on land unless it is well supplied with lime, the crop will not grow on land that is acid in nature. The scarified seed should be sown during March at the rate of 15-20 pounds per acre. The scarified seed should be innoculated if no sweet clover has been on the field recently. Sweet clover can be seeded with barley, rye, wheat or oats or seeded alone. It is desirable to cover the seeding with a corrugated rotary hoe or harrow.. Good crops of sweet clover will I Both Elections Will Offer No Change in Proposed Local Rate of Levy for Local Tax During Coming Year. The annual election of the town of Marthasville and the School District of Marthasville will be held Tuesday, April 4 at the Marthasville grade school building, 'and official notices of these elections are being published In the Record this week. There will be no new propositions for the voters at either e-lection. The School Board proposes the same rate of tax levy for school purposes as was levied last year. The amount of the levy proposed is 50 cents in excess of 20 cents for school purposes, and 10 cents for the Building and Repair Fund. The proposition to vote for County Superintendent of Schools will also be voted on at this year's election. At the town election only one proposition will be offered. It is the election of five directors to constitute a Board of Directors for the ensuing year. CCC Camp To Be Located At Wentzville By July 1 A CCC camp will be located at Wentzville and citizens of that town hope for a boom in business. The camp is to have 150 men. And it .is - expected that a (large portion of the 5C00 that is expended per month will go to the business men of the community for food, lumber, etc. The camp is for work on soil erosion projects only and will do work for farmers of the area, who pay a portion of the cost of liming and the soil erosion work. The work desired by the fanners has to meet certain requirements, and every farmer who applies must be a member of the county Soil Improvement Associ ation. New Melle Merchants Organize Business men of New Melle have organized for the purpose of bringing trade to the town. Merchants will try to offer at tractive bargains and are giving away to their customers coupons that are good on a special gift distribution day which will be on one Saturday in each month. provide as high as 20O mature cow days per acre as well as add from 40 to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre. It should be used much more extensively on the upland farms of Warren County where the land has been limed. By H. T. Elmo
